GFSB meet with the Chief Minister, Minister Isola and Minister Daryanani
The GFSB board would like to inform members that we were invited to a lunch meeting with the Chief Minister, Minister Isola and Minister Daryanani on Wednesday.
The meeting was informative and the Chief Minister was very interested in hearing what the business community had to say on moving forward after BREXIT. There was a lot of discussions on a number of possible situations and we hope to have a Breakfast club soon on this to better inform you all and get your feedback.
Some of the other issues which were also discussed included issues like the Gibraltar Nurturing Scheme, vacancy fees, working from home, the Main St BID and obviously the Coronavirus.
One issue that the Chief Minister assured the board of was that the Vacancy Fees would be done away with completely once the e-Gov is up and running. Which Minister Isola said for the Employment Dept should be in the next few months.
Overall we believe we were able to represent a lot of our members’ issues and concerns and will continue to do so in any meetings we are involved with.
